When Plants Attack

I know that many of you live Out West where drought is a serious issue. Ryan has informed me that all of the plants in Dallas are dead. Well, maybe not all of them, but most of them. We have the opposite problem. We live in an Urban Jungle. I can stick most any plant in the dirt in the backyard and within two days it will be towering over our house.

If you don't believe me, here is a photo of the Crepe Myrtle in the backyard. Do you see how it is threataning to devour the Patio Set? Do you see how it is taller than the house? Do you understand that it taps on our windows at night?

We are waiting for fall, when David can trim it back. We are afraid to try it now, because it might retaliate.
